Constructing the art center...


The Floorboard is a large acrylic painting on unstretched canvas. When unassembled, the floorboard easily collapses into a large roll for transport. 









The Railings are constructed out of recycled soup cans. Each pole consists of approximately three cans. Rocks are used as weights in the bottom can to provide extra stability. Braided rope, twine, or yarn is used to connect each pole.




The Gallery continually cycles drawings made by the community in the main gallery. The gallery shares the same space as the exterior "walls" of the art center. Drawings are hung with clips from the railing on the exterior side.








The Drawing Board is constructed out of cardboard. It folds into a single flat rectangle for easy transportation. The drawing board provides two artists with a flat drawing surface to work on. Paper is provided to the participants in the form of drawing pads. As each drawing is completed the drawing is removed from the pad and either stored in a folder or displayed in the Gallery. Each drawing pad is secured to the board with either clothespins or bull dog clips. 








The Container for the mobile drawing center requires the support of two people. It is in the form of a two-person backpack that holds all collapsable parts. Each section of the drawing center has a designated position in the container either inside of the bag or held securely on the exterior with buckles.
